Looking for Success Stories

[kcgoogler]

Best year: 2020
% Gain: 617%
Sharpe: 3.5

Just kidding.. for anyone else who comes to this thread with hope for real success stories. Your best bet is to beat the market with less volatility than the market. For example if you can do market return with a sr of anywhere above 0.7 you are good. Ignore the noise and keep plodding.

Better yet; forget beating the market.. try an absolute return of 10%+ with a sharpe of about 1.

The objective of a retail trader is to make money, not to beat inflation. A return of 10% won't result in any meaningful gains for a retail trader. He would be better off doing something else with that money. If you plan on changing your life through trading, you will have to accept higher risk because 10% per year is meaningless.

Not really, if you can prove that track record for a couple of years finding capital would not be so difficult.

Great post!

I think that community here is oriented towards long - term win in the game.
(While still crushing it)

The place for momentary bliss & glory would be r/wbets.

You mean the people here who think making $50/day is a great achievement? The same people who by their own admission still HAVE to trade after 20 years? The same people who look at squiggly lines on a chart and think there's a holy grail?

LOL. 99% of ET couldn't trade their way out of a wet paper bag.

Hello QTrader20,

Thanks for asking man.

I made about $4000 after funded with TST. Then went to broker and fucked the money up, bullshitting scaling up too fast. But I am working on a few methods now that definitely (for certain) have Edge, I am about to make ALOT money in these futures markets going forward.

I think only consistency can be called a successful story.
And consistency is not measured by one best year.
